today air conditioning systems have been considered by all people as one of welfarerequirements in buildings and closed environments. since a considerable part of energy lossoccurs in ordinary modern systems, new strategies and solutions are developed in the field inorder to save amount of energy consumption and observe environmental considerations. fuzzycontrol is one of these methods which pr...

the first and second laws of thermodynamics have been employed to evaluate energy and exergetic efficiency of the single effect absorption chiller which is used for air conditioning purpose. the performance analysis has been carried out by developing a computer program in ees and modeling the chiller and its components. to evaluate entropy of the water/lithium bromide solution at any point, an ...

objective: biopure® mtad (dentsply tulsa dental, usa) has been developed as a final irrigant following root canal shaping to remove intracanal smear layer. many of the unique properties of mtad potentially transfer to the conditioning process of tooth roots during periodontal therapy. the aim of this ex vivo study was to evaluate the effect of mtad on the removal of smear layer from root surfac...

objective: evaluating the effect of dentin conditioning with edta on microleakage of composite resin restorations, using two etch and rinse and two self-etch adhesives. materials and methods: one hundred and sixty extracted molars received class v cavity preparations right under the cej and were randomly divided into eight groups of 20, usingfour different adhesive systems. these adhesives incl...

colchicine, a potent neurotoxin derived from plants, has been recently introduced as a degenerative toxin of small pyramidal cells in the cortical area 1 of the hippocampus (ca1). in this study, the effect of the alkaloid in ca1 on the behaviors in the conditioning task was measured. injections of colchicine (1,5 μg/rat, intra-ca1) was performed in the male wistar rats, while the animals were s...

The New Zealand Building Code contains minimum durability requirements for components. For roof structures the requirement is 50 years if component structural or 15 it not. Metal claddings are very common in Zealand, and spaces typically not deliberately ventilated. Recently, a number of roofs failing to meet their requirement, lack deliberate ventilation contributory factor some cases. In this...
